AP Chemistry Units

All nine units of the AP Chemistry course framework, with approximate exam weighting and topic counts. The course runs from atomic structure through bonding, states of matter, reactions, kinetics, thermodynamics, equilibrium, and acid-base chemistry. Approximate weightings are from the College Board Course and Exam Description (see also the formula sheet); exact weightings vary year to year.
